Privacy

Viacoin
Samourai has a deep rooted commitment to the belief in the importance
of transactional privacy. It uses tricks with inputs and outputs of your
own wallet that create transactions on the blockchain designed to
confuse outsiders and highly decreases the effectiveness of block chain
snooping.

No address reuse
—Viacoin Samourai never reuses addresses, never leaking valuable
metadata about you and your purchase habits. Viacoin Samourai will alert
you if you have sent to an address before, helping prevent
unintentional address reuse.

Clustering Analysis Protection with STONEWALL — Viacoin
Samourai provides by default a transaction that increases the
difficulty of linking inputs to outputs of a transaction, making
clustering wallet addresses and associated metadata more difficult.

Ricochet Send—
Ricochet is designed to stump the blockchain spies that provide
blacklists to bitcoin banks and exchanges that they use to freeze funds
and suspend accounts. It works to disrupt the way blockchain spies
attempt to create lists of “clean” and “dirty” coins. All viacoins are
equal.

High Entropy Transactions—Viacoin
Samourai transactions with STONEWALL enabled produce much higher
entropy than standard viacoin transactions and often resemble CoinJoin transactions on the blockchain.

Avoid linking previous change outputs — Viacoin
Samourai parses all previous transactions before building a new
transaction to make sure it isn’t leaking valuable metadata about your
and your wallet.

Tor and VPN Support
—Viacoin Samourai is enabled with Tor and VPN support allowing you the
ability to route all transactions through an anonymous IP address.

Other Features

Trusted Node—
Viacoin Samourai offers you increased censorship resistance. Connecting
to your own trusted Viacoin node means you don’t have to rely on anyone
but yourself to publish your transactions to the Viacoin network.

Stealth Mode—
While in ‘Stealth Mode’ Viacoin Samourai will not appear on your phone
home screen, app list, launcher, or recent apps. To open your wallet
once it is in Stealth Mode you must dial a special code. If the code has
been entered correctly Samourai Wallet will launch.

Remote SMS Control — Viacoin
Samourai also comes included with the ability to control it via SMS.
You can send commands to your phone from a trusted number to retrieve
your seed or whipe your data.

SIM Switch Defence
—If your phone is stolen and the thief has switched the SIM Card you
can still initiate remote commands. With ‘SIM Switch Defence’ enabled
Viacoin Samourai will send your registered trusted number an SMS as soon
as the SIM card is changed on your stolen phone. You can now send a
remote wipe command to the new number and you will know the phone number
of the person who is in possession of your (stolen) phone.

There
are more features that will be included in Viacoin Samourai. We will
share a full list of features once we release Viacoin Samourai in the
Google Play Store. Viacoin Samourai will continue to receive updates
with fixes and additional features after its release.

Disclaimer:
Viacoin Samourai is being developed by the Viacoin development team. It
is a fork from the Samourai wallet, which was developed as a Bitcoin
wallet. We would like to thank the Samourai development team for the
amazing work they’ve done.
